An Alexadria man at the Merchants last
night said of Representative-eect Wilson, of
Douglas county: He is a plain, blunt, out
spoken man-to such an extent that this fact
alone has made him enemies. He never hesi-
tates to express his opinion, let the lightning
strike where it may. He is a man of strong
feelings and preiudices. He has decided
abhorrence of anything mean, insinuating or
underhanded, which he never fails to de-
nounce in forcible language. He is a power
full advocate for any measure which he may
favor and no influence, financial, political or
religious would alter his opinion or actions
The people of Douglas county feel that their
interests will be represented in an able man-
ner by their delegate"
Additional candidates who SHE'D their cas-
| tors in the ring yesterday were: Rev. E. r.
Lathrop, of Worthington, chaplain of the
house; j. ". Wright, of Meeker, first assist
ant clerk of the house; X. a. Holleer, of
Renvie; c. H. Slocum, Faribault; L. W.
Daniels, Olmsted, .. s.: Kellogg, Fillmore. en-
rolling clerk of the house; NJ. b. Johnson,
Fillmore. sergeant-at-arms of the house;
James Morrison, Blue Earth; G. F. Peck,
Ramsey, engrossing clerk of the house.
Lieut.. Gov. A. E. Rice, of Wilmar; Repre-
sentative George B. Arnold of Dodge county !;
| Representative J. J. Furlong, of Mower
| county; Senator Henry kellar, OF Stearns
county; Representative H. H. Wilson, of
Douglass county; Representative P. S. Wal
| Strom, of Renyille county; Senator Fl. E.
| Hoard, OF Chippewa county: Senator Z. n.
Dodge, of Dodge county, and Representative
| E. S. Hoppin of Mower county, were among
the late arrivals at the Merchants last night.
One of the funniest spectacles in the whole
affair is the modest attitude of MIR. Pitt Muir
ray. He is not member of the legislature
| but he is one of the most conspicuous figures
| in the hotel lobbieS, and he does not hesitate
| to give il out cold that, I'VE were talking over
| who we should put in the field for United
| States senator, / think we will compliment
/ Michael Doran. We will probably nominate
him and stick to him.
A Chatfield man at the Merchants yester-
| day said of Maj. George Andrus, who is a
| candidate for postmaster: ''Our corner of
state will probably give MIN a fair support,
| although his having been Milo Whites right
hand man will probably injure his prospects
| with certain straightforward Republicans.
| Our legislature, although free traders or low
tariff men generally, will support Davis
| Mr.. Lee stole march OF Mr.. Merriam by
selling his bank just on the eve of the eau
Gus. Mr.. Leo will probably sum up now,
claiming to own 1,500 acres of land in Todd
county, and announce his intention of de-
| voting the balance of his life to peaceful
pastoral pursuits.
The impression is gaining ground that Nc
Millan's friends will either refuse to go into
the caucus or will bolt if they do 90 in
| Neither Senator Mcmillan Or his lieutenauts
will make declaration of their intentions,
and there is consequently an interval of pain
| full suspense.
| Charlie Gilman couldn't keep his finger out
! of the sugar bowl. He is taking part in the
| tragedy IN the character of an avenger.
